Snap. It just clicked with me too. Thanks Bruce.
Apart from the great Edward Moore Gawne himself, the only traceable candidate is Edward, s/o Thomas Gawne and Alice Lettice Curphey born 1808.
This Edward I think was the one who married Marion Glas Connall in August 1836 and died
1842 in Rushen.
Unless there was another Edward around at the time?
